Yield
4 Servings
Cooking time
20 minutes
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
3 cups day-old cooked rice
3 green onions (diced, whites and greens separated)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 large egg (optional)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
12 ounces frozen peas and carrots
2 cups pineapple chunks
1⁄2 cup unsalted cashews
1⁄4 cup golden raisins
Instructions

Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into rice, stirring and breaking up any chunks with a fork. Set aside. In a wok (or large frying pan), heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the whites of the green onions; cook until translucent. Add garlic and egg, stirring quickly with a wooden spoon or spatula to scramble, cooking until set. Add rice, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes, stirring often until rice “pops,” about 5 minutes. Add peas and carrots, pineapple, cashews, and raisins, stirring often until hot. Top with green onion before serving. Makes 4 meals or 6 to 8 side dishes.
